This virtual journey was transferred to the Cool Planet website from On the Line. Much of the information here relates to the time when the millennium dawned.

Explore Algeria and discover a fascinating country full of contrasts. This virtual journey aims to explore the positive aspects of life in Algeria. The country has much to offer, despite the conflict that continues to rage within its borders. As one young Algerian called Adila put it, "If you asked me to describe Algeria, I would say it is a very big country with a lot of beautiful things to see. I hope everybody can come and see the country for themselves!"
